TM44 Air
Conditioning
Inspection
Specialists,
Wrexham
A TM44 air conditioning inspection is a legal requirement in the UK for certain buildings – but beyond compliance, it also saves money and improves efficiency.
Here’s why you should have one:
1. It’s a Legal Requirement
Under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, buildings in the UK must have a TM44 inspection if they have air conditioning systems with a combined output over 12kW.
The inspection must be carried out every 5 years and produces an official TM44 certificate.
2. Avoid Fines
Failure to comply can result in enforcement action from your local authority and potential fines of £300 per unit.
Having a valid TM44 report protects you legally.
3. Reduce Energy Costs
Air conditioning systems often:
- Run longer than needed
- Are poorly maintained
- Have incorrect controls or settings
- Are oversized for the space
A TM44 inspection identifies inefficiencies and provides recommendations to:
- Lower electricity usage
- Reduce running costs
- Improve system performance
4. Improve System Lifespan
The inspection reviews:
- Equipment condition
- Controls
- Air distribution
- Refrigerant management
Addressing issues early helps prevent breakdowns and extends the life of your system.
5. Support Net Zero & ESG Goals
Reducing AC energy consumption:
- Lowers carbon emissions
- Supports sustainability targets
- Improves overall building energy performance
This is especially important for organisations working towards carbon reduction or ESG reporting.
6. Better Comfort for Occupants
An inefficient system can cause:
- Hot and cold spots
- Poor airflow
- Overcooling
- Noise issues
TM44 recommendations can improve indoor comfort and productivity.
Who Needs a TM44?
You likely need one if:
- Your building is commercial (offices, retail, warehouses, hospitality, etc.)
- The total cooling capacity exceeds 12kW
- Your last inspection was more than 5 years ago
We can also advise current COP (coefficient performance of equipment) to assist with funding a bid applications.
